Lost Caverns of Tsogcanth

[cplmac]

I am looking for a group that would like to do a game using the old 2E system. I realize that I'm located a little out of the way, so I want to make sure that potential players are aware that I can come to a more centralized location for the group to meet at. Currently, the group will be meeting in Monroeville for the game.

This campaign will include both the wilderness and cavern levels. I am looking for 6 to 8 players. Have no problem if someone wants to run two characters, but no more than that per person.

The PCs used to start will be the ones in the campaign module. They are the following:

Cathartic: human female, level 7 cleric

Ethelrede: human male, level 8 fighter

Flemin: dwarf male, level 6 fighter

Dunil: halfling female, level 9 thief

Weslocke: elf male, level 4 fighter / level 9 mage

Hockerbrecht: half-elf male, level 4 fighter/ level 4 mage / level 5 thief

Arocken: human female, level 6 ranger

Benedict: human male, level 6 cleric

With any luck, this campaign will take a very long time. There is alot of terrain to cover. There is ample opportunity for role playing when interacting with various NPCs. It's not just a hack & slash game. This could be a good campaign for a group that hasn't played before and would like to learn.

Be sure to scrape the mold off first. That is an old, old, oldy indeed.

This would be an in person, sitting around the table game. Sorry, I didn't specify that originally. I have never done an online game.

I actually played this as a pc (the dwarf, Flemin), when in the Persian Gulf in 1990 & 1991.

sigh. (sniff, sniff) ;D awesome. my first module was good old B2-Keep on the Borderlands.

A little more info. This is not the tournament version. This is the one that has the large wilderness part added to the actual caverns. This is why there are eight characters listed. There are many opportunities for further campaigning after the actual one is completed.

[cplmac]

Although there are 8 characters listed, I would have no problem with players that would want to "run" more than one character. This will allow for gaming without needing to wait for 8 total players. Could also run party characters as NPCs if the player group would want.
